Ulysses is a joint mission between ESA and NASA. It was launched in 1990 from a space shuttle and was the first mission to study the environment of space above…
The largest European network in nanobiotechnology Nano2Life will be pulling out all the stops again, at the meeting to be held in Brussels on 26.2.2008 for…
In the case of scanning force microscopes, the nominal values for bending stiffnesses deviate distinctly from the actual values. With the current devices,…
A single-electron transistor, being able to resolve charge variations of a single electron or less, served as a charge detector to monitor the charge movement.The successful experiment is an important milestone on the way to the setup of a new standard for capacitance, where a capacitor is charged by a well-known number of electrons. …
Frédéric Dardel and colleagues crystallized both the narrow and broad-spectrum resistance forms of the antibiotic-modifying acetyltransferase enzyme. Their…
Their “nanoleaves“ – they are only one to two nanometers thick – are based on crosslinked, self-organising layers which, after fabrication, can be detached…
Research by a team at Northumbria University’s School of Applied Sciences, led by computational chemist Dr Marcus Durrant, has developed a radical approach to…
Back pain is one of the main causes of absence from work in the UK. In 2004-5 approximately 34,000 people in the East Midlands suffered from musculoskeletal…

A research team at Umeå Center for Molecular Medicine has identified the signals that coordinate the early development of the central and peripheral nervous…
These one-celled organisms eat the contaminants present in water — whether it is being treated prior to industrial use or even for drinking — in a process…
Previously it has been impossible to photograph electrons since their extremely high velocities have produced blurry pictures. In order to capture these rapid…
The study also notes that China will still not be able to top the league and remain second behind the USA, and goes on to speculate that Japan and South Korea…
Applying the facial expression recognition algorithm, the developed prototype is capable of processing a sequence of frontal images of moving faces and…
